1311742 - With dimmed highlighting, spaces are shifted around in the Find-In-Page highlighted result, at MozReview

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/86642/diff/3/
 2. Do Find-in-Page (Ctrl+F) and paste this into the findbar:
NS_PRECONDITION(mEnd == aEnd.mEnd

 Notice how the highlighted match looks.

 3. Hit "esc" to cancel the findbar-highlighting, and look to see what the result *actually* looks like in the page. Compare that to the findbar's highlighted rendering.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 The region should look the same after step 2 and step 3 (modulo highlight color).

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The findbar-highlighted result looks like:
> NS_PRECONDITION(  mEnd== aEnd.m End
...vs. the actual text in the page looks like:
>     NS_PRECONDITION(mEnd == aEnd.mEnd

Attachment: screenshot with find-in-page highlighting, in a fresh profile (BAD)

For reference, here's a screenshot taken in a fresh profile. It's still bad, but not quite as bad as attachment 8802984 [details] (only one space has been shifted around, instead of several).

Not sure why I'm getting different-levels-of-bad behavior in two different profiles. *shrug*  Just posting for completeness, anyway.

I'm using "Nightly 52.0a1 (2016-10-17) (64-bit)" for all of these screenshots, BTW.

Note that there are 2 results for that search term in the page. Both of them exhibit the same behavior.)
